Dear all,

The DISMAN-TRACEROUTE-MIB defines the initial TTL value
for a traceroute operations as

    traceRouteCtlInitialTtl OBJECT-TYPE
       SYNTAX         Unsigned32 (0..255)
       MAX-ACCESS     read-create
       STATUS         current
       DESCRIPTION
           "The value of this object specifies the initial TTL value to
           use.  This enables bypassing the initial (often well known)
           portion of a path."
       DEFVAL { 1 }
       ::= { traceRouteCtlEntry 18 }

The range of this object is (0..255).
I don't see how a value of 0 would make any sense.
Therefore I suggest to change the SYNTAX clause to

       SYNTAX         Unsigned32 (1..255)

Any comments?

Thanks,

    Juergen
